“The context of the film is Christmas But it’s about much more than that. The log-line is ‘A Christmas message speaks louder than words’ because the film is also about subtext, and the things we don’t say at Christmas. There is subtext even in the logline- because it’s difficult for me to say anything about a one minute film without giving away a spoiler!”

REVIEWS:

Amsterdam’s largest newspaper, Het Parool, reviewed the film as a jewel of the program, with its film critic Mark Moorman commenting that the film compares to a Cannes award-winning film in just 60 seconds.

While the film was not eligible for prize nominations at IDFA as it was not in a competitive program, Wendy Dent received vigorous applause at the screenings. She also proved she had won over her audience with the first comment at a post-screening discussion: “Thank you - for a film I will never ever forget, in my entire life”.

Just a few of the many comments about 'December 25';

“I like it!”
Victor Kossakovsky

"The perfect one minute film"
John Dentino (director of the IDFA premiere ‘For I Know My Weakness)

"Brilliant"
"Very powerful - It speaks directly to the power of words. So much communicated in just a few sentences”.
Professors at USC School of Cinematic Arts

Wendy Dent “created a meme... I had a laugh the other day when people around me asked what I was doing for Christmas and I said, deadpan, 'December 25 will never be the same again' and they all wondered what I was talking about. I could never have imagined a one minute doco would change how I think about something for the rest of my life but it has. That's a hell of an achievement”.
Slavko Martinez (Director of IDFA premiere 'Propaganda')
